    Teaching this? MindfulPro writes a script on it for the people you guide and narrates it in a studio voice — 14-day free trial, then $39/mo.

    This butterfly kids meditation is a playful visualization to help your child focus and relax each body part by imagining a butterfly floating in their mind.

    The meditation is from Breethe, the guided meditation app, and its video description includes the full script. Children begin with a few deep breaths, then imagine lying on the grass while a friendly butterfly flutters from their toes up to their forehead, relaxing each body part one at a time and leaving them feeling calm. Language and length geared toward kids 6-9 years old.

    Meditation scripts for kids are one simple way of introducing the concept of meditation to youth. From visualization scripts to mindfulness body scan scripts, there exists a variety of meditation techniques we can introduce our children to.

    The way we introduce children to mindfulness and meditation will depend upon the child and the setting. Kids might explore mindfulness in the comfort of their own home with parents or caregivers. On the other hand, they might be introduced to these practices by educators or other professionals. If you’re working in schools, meditation scripts for students may support focus, concentration, and communication. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter where kids gain these skills from; what is important is that they deepen their personal practice over time.
